About Me

I’m a freelance book editor living in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with my husband and two active kids.

Of course, I love reading—especially mystery and middle grade novels—but I’m a fan of any story with a likable character and a puzzle to solve. I first learned about freelance book editing through the Bookstagram community, where I spent a lot of time sharing my current reads, connecting with fellow readers, and posting book reviews.

I’ve never been happier that I took that first step in 2023 toward making my dream job happen.

In my free time, you’ll find me listening to podcasts, watching British TV shows, and connecting with readers on Bookstagram. You can find me there @brittany.redderoth!
